TJSS T.FYTE GI JT.F RFMFMRFRS THE BATTLE OF T.FYT F GTJT.F In the midst of conducting United Nations Maritime Interception Operations in the Northern Arabian Gulf, LEYTE GULF scheduled a very special commemorative service and bell ringing ceremony to honor the servicemen who fought in the Battle of Leyte Gulf (Oct 23-26, 1944) ex- actly fifty years ago. Often referred to as the greatest sea battle of all time, the epic 4 day battle coincided with General Macarthur ' s return to the Philippines and virtually ended the Japanese Navy ' s capacity to fight as an organized force. The crew of LEYTE GULF assembled in dress uniforms on the ship ' s foc ' sle at the exact time that the Battle of Samar began 50 years ago to recount the battle ' s major engagements and pay homage to the heroic efforts of the sailors who fought or died. During a very poignant bell ringing ceremony the crew paid a special tribute to the crews of the twelve U.S. Ships which were lost in the ferocious engagements. LEYTE GULF ' S crew listened as tales of the ships ' engagements were recounted and followed by a fitting quote from some of Amer- ica ' s greatest military heroes. The men of each ship were then remembered by four strikes of the bell. At ceremony ' s end, each member of LEYTE GULF ' s crew left with a vivid and stirring remem- brance of the battle ' s uncommon gallantry and valor and took to heart the quote from Commander Robert Copeland, Commanding Officer of the SAMUEL B. ROBERTS, also lost in the battle, I can think of no higher honor than to serve in battle with men as fine as these. Considering LEYTE GULF ' s current location and mission assignment in the Northern Arabian Gulf, the crewmembers appeared to have a solid understanding of the significance of the service and a mood of reverence, respect, and remembrance prevailed both during and after the event. r 2 LEYTE GULF
